Funny, they forget to mention VISA and MasterCard gift cards that work just like a regular credit card and can be purchased at a corner store for as little as $25 by anyone of any age. -
The impending ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!

Additional Comments: http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/21/smallbusiness/zombie_race Zombies infect obstacle course NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Zombie mania is sweeping the country, but so is the obstacle course craze -- complete with tortuous tracks, pocked with mud pits and tall walls. Now there's a company that's combining the two: zombies and boot-camp style race courses, and it's just in time for Halloween. On Saturday, Reed Street Productions will launch its first zombie-infested obstacle course race in the woods of Maryland. Ryan Hogan, a managing member of Reed Street Productions, said that 9,700 runners have bought tickets to compete in the Run For Your Lives race, where they'll run a 5K track and negotiate a dozen obstacles. "This is our first event, and we never expected 10,000 people to show up on our doorstep," said Hogan, adding that 1,000 spectators have also bought tickets to watch the mayhem from the sidelines. "It's kind of faddish, in a way, because we just got over vampires, and then it was werewolves, and now it's zombies." The company site says that runners will climb a hill, clamber up a fence and splash through a muddy sewer tube with a "bunch of flesh-starved undead on your tail." Reed Street Productions has been charging $77 for competitors and $32 for spectators to attend the race in Darlington, Md. Competitor registration closed on Oct. 1, but the company is also selling tickets for seven zombie-infested races around the country next year. Hundreds of volunteers have signed on to masquerade as flesh-eating zombies and chase the competitors, said Hogan, who withheld exact numbers of the undead and other details of the course. "People just love zombies," said Hogan, explaining the motivation for the unpaid actors. Reed Street Productions, an eight-employee company based in Bel Air, Md., is adding this undead element to the endurance course craze that has risen in recent years. This trend includes the nationwide series of Spartan Races, culminating in the annual, 48-hour Death Race in Pittsfield, Vt., infamous for its 90% attrition rate. Competitors in the separate Run For Your Lives race will wear flags representing health points. Zombies will try to rip off the flags. A competitor is "dead" if he or she runs out of flags before clambering over the fence at the finish line and into the safe zone, where there will be a party with live music and beer. "Apparently, it's sort of like flag football meets the end of the world meets SERE meets running," said Devon Crittenden, a software engineer who will be running from zombies in the Amesbury, Mass. race, scheduled for May 5, 2012. Crittenden was referring to a military acronym that stands for Survival Evasion Resistance Escape, a training program for pilots and crew members who face the risk of being shot down. Hogan, a petty officer in the Navy and a former aviation warfare specialist, said that his SERE training was instrumental in designing the zombie course. Run For Your Lives is apparently the only race inspired by the zombie apocalypse genre. This genre originated with Richard Matheson's 1954 novel "I Am Legend" and George Romero's 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead," where outnumbered humans try to survive in a world taken over by homicidal ghouls. The race coincides with the latest manifestation of the genre: the second season of AMC's television show "The Walking Dead," which has brought the concept of the zombie apocalypse into the mainstream. A commercial advertising the race was broadcast during the season premiere. The show and the race follow the template established by Romero: zombies exist for the sole purpose of eating humans and are most dangerous when they cluster in mobs. Crittenden said that he has no military training and dislikes exercise. But he lives in the Pittsburgh area near the Monroeville Mall, where Romero filmed "Dawn of the Dead" in 1978, and he's had a lifelong obsession with zombies. "I picked this particular race because I hate running," he said. "Running is very boring. So if you're going to go running, you need motivation. What better motivation than being chased by zombies?" -

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Google-Makes-HTTPS-Encryption-Default-for-Search-371629 Google said it is making HTTPS security via SSL encryption the default option among searchers who are signed in, which should delight privacy buffs afraid of referrals floating around. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Oct. 18 said it will begin redirecting most of users signed into their Google accounts to the HTTPS version of Google.com, which encrypts searches that users perform, as well as the results. The encryption comes courtesy of SSL (Secure Socket Layer), a security standard used by most banking and e-commerce Websites. Google began using SSL as the default setting for Gmail in January 2010 after it learned that Gmail had been hacked in China. The company then began offering encrypted search at https://encrypted.google.com for those who wanted to try it in May 2010. With search becoming more personalized--that is, tailored to specific users' preferences based on their previous searches--Google said it has become more important to shore up search results directed to users. This is especially true at a time when more users are accessing Google search from unsecured WiFi connections, such as mobile hotspots at Starbucks and other cafes with Internet access. What this means is that when users use https://www.google.com to search, Websites such as Amazon.com, eBay and others will know that users came from Google and will receive an aggregated list of the top 1,000 search queries that propelled traffic to their Website over the past month. These Websites won't receive any info about specific queries individuals make, such as what they searched for, when and from what computer. However, users who elect to click on an ad appearing on a Google search results page will still send the relevant query over the network to enable advertisers to gauge the effectiveness of their campaigns and to improve the ads they present to users. Search Engine Land offers plenty more on how this change works. "We hope that today's move to increase the privacy and security of your Web searches is only the next step in a broader industry effort to employ SSL encryption more widely and effectively," wrote [/url]Google search Product Manager Evelyn Kao. Many Internet companies that didn't already rely on HTTPS have begun adding the security layer to their Websites. Facebook added HTTPS support in January 2011 and Twitter added HTTPS support in March.
